We started the morning with shoe shopping (our favorite). We discovered that our shoe taste is far more practical than it once was. High heels have been replaced with shoes we know we can walk in while carrying a little one. Fashion over function has been replaced with a requirement of cute, comfortable shoes. Wow - we're boring. :)
Then we headed to lunch at Cafe Gratitude. I used to work with Natalie, one of the owners, and have wanted to give it a try since they opened! I expected good food but wasn't sure what it would be like since it was all vegan (no meat, no dairy). The dish I ordered was called 'I am Whole' and it was FANtastic. I can't wait to go back so I can have it again. Jenn had 'I am Magical' and she loved it. We both had 'I am Grace' smoothies which were so yummy. We've attempted to recreate the smoothies at home - we're close, but not quite there yet.
Parking was a bit tricky - I'm not a parallel parker, so we drove around until we found this spot. I had to back in to an angled parking spot and I actually made it on the first try.
We spotted an antique store next door and decided to go in and check it out. The display that greeted us was this red mattress springs with a photo wreath clipped to it. So cute! Jenn decided this would be a perfect addition to her kitchen. She asked me if it would fit in my car - I said sure without really thinking about it. Turns out that it was a bit bigger than it looked and it wouldn't fit in the trunk. It wouldn't slide in front of the car seats, so we had to wedge it into the back window of the car. I bet there were some people watching and placing bets on if we were going to get it in the car. Lesson learned for those people - don't bet against Jenn and I. :)
We then spent several hours at the mall - found some good deals, got a few things we needed, got a few fun things and had a great time. Can't wait till we do this again!
